Blackbriar 8,568 Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 (edited) Obviously a wind up by someone trying to get this reaction , wake upIs it a wind-up???Path Yorkshire is a charity representing minorities ......and "Indeed" claim to be the world's largest job website. I saw job ads like this for various London council's in the '80s. "Minority Rights Worker", " Gay and Lesbian Advocacy Worker" etc etc. It was wrong then, and its wrong now........ Positive discrimination is still discrimination ! Edited March 12, 2016 by Blackbriar Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TRUEBRIT66 1,176 Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 From the goverments web site totally legal it would appear !!!! You can choose a job candidate who has a protected characteristic over one who doesn’t if they’re as suitable for the job and you think that people with that characteristic: are underrepresented in the workforce, profession or industrysuffer a disadvantage connected to that characteristic (eg people from a certain ethnic group are not often given jobs in your sector) You can only do this if you’re trying to address the under-representation or disadvantage for that particular person. You must make decisions on a case by case basis and not because of a certain policy. You can’t choose a candidate who isn’t as suitable for the job just because they have a protected characteristic.

hubbs 178 Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Obviously blinded by my ignorance, I'm a big believer anyone is entitled to work , but its down to the best candidate, not cock size colour or sexuality Quote Link to post Share on other sites
desertbred 5,490 Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 The Race element is a load of Bollocks but suits the red necks to publicise it. The actual fact is that ethnic minorities are not under represented especially in the NHS , How many times is it pointed out that the NHS could not function correctly without over seas staff, so to claim under representation is wrong. So on that basis the ad would be illegal to employ on basis of race or ethnenticity Quote Link to post Share on other sites
